thank you, secretary clinton. you're right. now, for this administration to bring people in to top positions who do not understand the threat to this country and think that ignoring due process of our constitution and killing american citizens with drone bombs is somehow preserving the constitution, it requires another look. it requires oversight. there may be circumstances where that's what needs to be done. but i do find it interesting that this administration and certain leaders here on the hill had no problem with alwith a licky leading -- with ah-waliki leading prayers here on capitol hill, prayers that were videotaped, he led prayers on capitol hill and then he goes to yemen and this administration things that we better kill him with a drone without due process, what were they afraid of, maybe he'd come back and lead prayers on capitol hill or maybe he would be captured and talk about who all he led prayers with on capitol hill. what was the need for taking this man out? we're told he had blood on his hands and so it does

i remember senator clinton running a commercial back in 2008 that asked the question, who do you want to take that phone call at 3:00 a.m. this would have been exactly the kind of situation except there was no phone call at 3:00 a.m. the phone call had been at 5:00 or so in the afternoon. and there was no effort to find out, by the way, what happened to ambassador stevens that i put in harm's way, equivalent to a four-star general in civilian service. to wait to find out the next day that it had been over seven hours of attacks, that our last american that we know of killed, was killed in the last hour of that seven-hour attack, and i can appreciate the loyalty of cabinet members, joint chiefs trying to protect the president, coming forward and saying, well, you know, we didn't have planes that would have to be refueled, that would have to be armed, and i would submit if we can't get a jet that can fly, 600 miles an hour, 600 miles or so to libya, we can't get him there in an hour and a half, that it's time to clean house at the top of our defense people to get people to get planes to

former president bill clinton and future president barack obama. i had the privilege of speaking at her funeral too. but what can you say in the company of that greatness? well, what i said was that legislation had been introduced by jesse jackson jr. and senator john kerry to place a statue of rosa parks in the capitol of the united states. [applause] i got an uproarious reaction to it. what can you say to presidents, past and future, preachers from all over the country, a statue. i promised them that the legislation would pass and quickly. now, that funeral was november 2, and on december 1, president george w. bush signed it into law. 50 years to the day that rosa parks sat down on the bus in month combomry, alabama, 50 years to the day. so rosa parks can feel right at home in the capitol joining sojourner truth, dr. martin luther king and other american heroes. she inspires all who walk the halls with her quiet strength, her pride, her dignity, her courage. i told you how rosa parks is recognized by congress and friends of congress. now i'd lik
